  Hi,
  
  This is really urgent.
  
  I want to maintain the selection of the item of carousal after its rebound or refreshed.
  
  PLease find the code below which is not working;
  
  

  int

   

  iSelIndex = rdcTasks.Records.IndexOf(rdcTasks.SelectedRecord);
  this.rdcTasks.ItemSource = list;
  

   

  RadCarouselPanel

   

  panel = this.rdcTasks.FindCarouselPanel();

   

  panel.BringDataItemIntoView(rdcTasks.Records[iSelIndex]);

   

  this.rdcTasks.Records[iSelIndex].IsSelected = true;
  
  I have tried other properties like currentItem & Currentrecord but no gain.
  
  REgards,
  S

  Hi Shweta Patole,
  
  You can try the following:
  
  

  var selectedIndex = this.RadCarousel1.Records.IndexOf(this.RadCarousel1.SelectedRecord);

  this.RadCarousel1.SelectedRecord = null;

  this.RadCarousel1.ItemsSource = myNewSource

  this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>

  {

  this.RadCarousel1.SelectedRecord = this.RadCarousel1.Records[selectedIndex];

  }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.SystemIdle, null);

  
  Hope this works.

  Hi
  
  Thanks for your prompt reply.
  
  I have tried the same thing, but there is a movement in te control. it moves to the first record and then moves back to the selected one. Is there any way to stop this so that user wouldnt know whats happening?
  Regards,
  Shweta

  Hi Shweta Patole,
  
  You could try setting the animation duration to zero and hiding the panel before the animation and after that restore the visibily and the duration. That might improve the experience but still there will be a single flicker. Here is a sample code:
  
  

  public void Rebind()

  {

  var panel = this.RadCarousel1.FindCarouselPanel();

  var duration = panel.ItemsMovementAnimationDuration;

  panel.ItemsMovementAnimationDuration = TimeSpan.Zero;

  var selectedIndex = this.RadCarousel1.Records.IndexOf(this.RadCarousel1.SelectedRecord);

  this.RadCarousel1.SelectedRecord = null;

  this.RadCarousel1.ItemsSource = null;

  this.RadCarousel1.ItemsSource = data;

  panel.Visibility = Visibility.Hidden;

  this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>

  {

  this.RadCarousel1.SelectedRecord = this.RadCarousel1.Records[selectedIndex];

  }),  System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.SystemIdle, null);

  this.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(new Action(() =>

  {

  panel.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;

  panel.ItemsMovementAnimationDuration = duration;

  }), System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherPriority.SystemIdle, null);

  }

  
  We will try to provide a better support for such scenarios in the future.
